King of Hollywood

Chapter 208 Qualified Commercial Films

Serena kept her promise not to take this little girl named Vivian back, but she didn't go back to the vampire compound, she went straight to the laboratory under their race name, and she wondered what the hell was going on. Amelia was there to inspect, so about the immortal ancestor, Alexander? The story of Corvinus and his three children was revealed in their conversation.

This is the first time that vampires and werewolves have been explained in a modern sense, and although it is simply impossible to study it, it does have a refreshing feeling for the audience.

And then, what's different from the original version, in this story, are vampires and werewolves aware of Alexander? What does the blood of the descendants of Corvinus' third unchanging son mean to them? In fact, both vampires and werewolves have thought of countless ways to solve their own fear of ultraviolet light and silver devices, and in recent times they have done many experiments with human beings.

Vampires, with slightly better luck and a higher degree of technology, discovered the secrets from one of the sidelines and immediately began to search for and pursue the descendants of their third son, eventually finding the little girl, Vivian. The werewolves, though lagging behind a lot, had traitors in vampires, and Klein, the traitor, was not very clear about them, so by his means, the little girl and a couple of men and women escaped and were followed by the werewolves, and the vampires reacted quickly and sent the best men to chase them, so there was the first scene of the film.

Selena, who knows the truth, is in a dilemma. Turning temporarily to the other side, he returned to the site to find out about Klein's questioning of Lucien, who had claimed to have killed Lucien and brought back a skin. Klein naturally denied that both sides were unhappy, and Selena had to wake Victor up in violation after gathering some evidence.

But Victor woke up unconscious and didn't believe what she said, and realized that she had begun to have feelings for humans, so she was forced to reflect on Selena under the pretext of waking herself up against the rules. Bill still plays the part? Nai's an old British skeleton, except for Kate. He was the only one who also played this role in the original edition, and the acting had nothing to say.

The next scene did not make much of an adjustment, and Selena did not reflect on what Victor had told her to do, but sought evidence herself. On the other hand, Klein met Lucien in private and decided to start early after complaining, so Emilia, one of the three elders, was attacked on her way home and then died because her blood could not be recovered - at least not so much this time. Not even a frontal one.

And Selena was followed by Klein's men, so she went back to where Vivian was hiding, and the wolves followed her.

“Hide, quick!” Selena shouted at the little girl and pulled a double gun against the werewolf.

Although the two had initially built trust, a desperate little girl saw the outside world right in front of her. I couldn't help it. Coupled with the unusually intense fighting on the other side, an adventurous move was made to sneak up on the safety ladder outside, from where to slide onto the street. However, two werewolves disguised as policemen were already here. Although the little girl did not trust them and tried to escape, she was caught screaming because of her weak ability to escape from the werewolves.

Selena heard her scream, but was stuck with the werewolves on top and couldn't get away, so easily solved them. If you want to catch up, you can't find a trace. Helpless, after inspecting a werewolf's body, he took Lucien's heart, seriously injured but still alive.

With this guy testifying, Victor naturally stopped suspecting, and Emilia's death came, summoning a horse to fight back. A lot of the details started to get a little messy here, and there was no way to do that, after all, the movie only lasted that long. Adrian was just concerned that even the producer's name didn't hang, so he couldn't control it, but it was already good to be able to do so, after all, a commercial film on a medium investment scale.

When the final battle came, Selena went all the way down, leading into Lucien's lair and finding Vivian first.

“I'm sorry.” The little girl, who had always behaved so indifferently, finally cried and held her tight and refused to let go.

“It's okay, no one's gonna hurt you anymore.” Selena once again revealed a rare side of tenderness, holding her in constant comfort while at the same time being a little confused, not knowing what to do.

Then Lucien and his collaborator, Klein, broke in, and Lucien tried to inject himself with blood, and then evolved quickly to fight back against the vampires that were coming from the bees, but Klein, who had been exposed, had nowhere to go to chase him, so they met in this situation.

Then, with a lip gun and tongue sword, Klein suddenly pulled out a gun loaded with silver nitrate bullets and opened fire on Lucien. Lucien had no idea, and couldn't get down immediately. Klein relieved himself and took his head back, believing Victor would forgive him and, of course, the little girl.

Selena naturally wouldn't give Vivian to him. There was a discrepancy, and they started fighting each other again. Klein, though not against Selena, was harsh in his heart and attacked Vivian every time. Selena was accidentally struck by him, and Vivian fell into his hands.

Clyne was so proud that he mocked them - all the villains in the movie, and The Night Legend was no exception, why not let the protagonists turn the table? But the final puzzle was solved, and the love of Lucien and Victor's daughter, Sonia, was revealed. This dog blood must also be spilled, and as one of the important accompanying characters, this dog blood is also suitable.

At the same time, Klein explained why Victor had to adopt Selena, who looked very similar to Sonia, which indirectly explained why Lucien had let her go both times.

“Didn't he kill my family?” Shocked Selena asked another question of her own accord.

“Of course not. Your family was killed by Victor, poor little girl.” Klein laughed so loudly, like all the rebels, he looked so rampant that he was immediately rewarded.

Half-paralyzed Lucien suddenly broke one of his legs, and angry Klein unwittingly grabbed Vivian in his hand and beat him out, and the little girl rolled to the ground in pain. It then provoked Serena, yelled, picked up the weapons on the ground, and jumped high. Instantly killed Klein seconds.

Then Vivian, lying on the ground, moaned in agony, and Lucien's teeth scratched her arm as Klein threw her over Lucien. The werewolves had no women, because women could not bear the power of that kind of violence, so all the women bitten by the werewolves died, and Vivian was so small that she naturally couldn't bear it.

“Bite her...” cried Lucien, dying at this point. “She is the last direct descendant of Corvinus... she can combine the blood of both races...”

At no cost, Selena bit Vivian, which also put the last straw on her and Victor's crack. When the elder came in with his hands and learned about Vivian, he ordered that she must be killed, and he would never allow that to happen. So merciless. Coupled with Serena's repeated questioning of the truth, the conflict between the two men could no longer be avoided.

Unlike before, Victor and Selena both used long swords in retro, and the crisp sound of the interaction showed a vampire's elegance. Of course, it didn't last long. Victor was the elder of the three and the old man who lived for thousands of years. Selena couldn't let go of herself and was beaten backwards.

But as soon as Vivian, who was still weak next to her, constantly avoided the pursuit of others, anger filled her chest. After taking a hard sword from Victor, jump over and kill those guys quickly. But then Victor, who followed him, stabbed her in the shoulder with a sword, and suddenly Vivian came out next to him, leaving Victor with a few seconds of God, and Selena seized the opportunity to stab him in the heart with a sword.

It's all over, Selena looks at Vivian, and finally she asks, "Would you like to come with me? ”

“Will you protect me?” Vivian asks back.

The film finally came to a close. And then, of course, there were some clues to prepare for the second one, like waking up indoors, infiltrating the blood of the guy who was killed, into Marcus' coffin, or without Lucien's body, and Victor just being pierced through the heart. Both roles were popular in previous life, so with Adrian's intervention, they were retained in this way for the time being.

If the movie succeeds and their character is indeed popular, there is no doubt that it will be revived in a sequel, then what about the movie? The box office can answer - the new line connects almost 2,500 exhibitors to The Night Legend, and then gets $29 million in North America in the first week.

A great start for such a medium investment commercial film, which generally has great potential as long as the first four numbers of the first week's box office are similar to the first four numbers of exhibitors.

It had already been modified, along with a lot of propaganda, and the stunt of the first movie to play a trailer on youtube, and several commercial films arranged by Adrian for Kate around the millennium, such as "Agent Kali" or "Ancient Tomb Beauty", were basically single-handedly made, so her commercial value was higher, and it was normal for her to do so.

At the same time, almost half of the comments made by film critics in various media outlets felt that it was okay.

“As a commercial film, The Night Legend is undoubtedly qualified, not only to subvert traditional vampire and werewolf stories, but also to boldly innovate. Modern Gothic style makes the whole film very fashionable and the plot is very convincing. The director finds the perfect balance between horror and action films, Kate? Beckinsale's performances are also amazing, and although she's had a cold face most of the time, she's impressed every time her expression changes.” This is how a film critic described it.

Of course, comments like "Stupid movies, like a role-playing customs game," “The war between vampires and werewolves is just gang fire." The rating on imdb is only 7, and the freshness on rotten tomatoes is only about 55%.

But in the eyes of the average person, it's a great movie, not to mention the fact that the freshness on the rotten tomato website is only 55%, but the audience likes it 89%. Vampire culture is still very much sought after in the West, and with “Laura” starring, skinny leather jackets and modern Gothic styles have captivated a lot of people.

“If Laura is wild, lively, and proud, then Selena is ruthless, cold-blooded, emotional only towards those who deserve attention, of course. They're all very elegant and very charming.” A message from an internet citizen speaks for the most part.

Moreover, critics - both critical and praiseworthy - and ordinary people believe that Selena's look at Sleeping Vivian is the most emotional part of the film, especially those who criticize it, saying that it barely makes the vulgar film look so vulgar.

Dakota has also gained further popularity, either because she is too young, or because the role makes life compassionate. Even those critics didn't blame her too much, so Vivian was the only one in the movie to get 99% recognition.

Of course, if it's really popular, Kate is the best, she's the first actor, and the male actor was removed to better highlight her. The image of a tight black leather coat and trench coat has become synonymous with Laura.

“Look, honey, it's pretty good.” While accompanying her and her daughter on the weekends, Adrian said with a tape of data, “Right? ”

And then the sentence was addressed to Lily. The little guy sighed after a serious look at the newspaper: "I think I missed something. ”

“Oh?” Adrian picked the eyebrows.

“I was thinking," My daughter looked at my mother with her own face, "If that character were me, it would be fine. ”

“What, you want to be an actor too?” Adrian gave a surprising look.

“No, but I think...” Lily thought over her head. “If I show up in front of the camera with my mom... if I play Vivian and Mom... that would be cool! ”

Looking at her daughter's strange appearance, Adrian shrugged her shoulders, not going to say anything. When the little guy first started taking down the dv, he thought she was going to be a scientist. When the little guy led his sisters to jump the chicken dog at home, he thought she could be a leader in the future, now... OK. It doesn't matter, she's still young, there will be time to adjust her thoughts. Whatever little guy does in the future is her own business. All she needs to do is be a bystander and guard her carefully.

“Looks like the sequel is a sure thing.” That's what Adrian said to Kate after the little guy ran off to play.

“It's early, maybe next week they won't be interested in me wearing a black skinny leather jacket.” Kate shrugged.

“It's okay, as long as I'm interested.” Adrian laughed and said, Kate immediately whitewashed his mouth.

Adrian doesn't care. As long as the current box office situation persists, the sequel won't run. If it's good, the corresponding neighborhood, such as comics, character models, games, etc. will also be on the agenda.

So he turned to another topic: "Well, honey, there's a script that I think you can consider, not mine, and the background is a little messy, and the investment is high, and if you're not careful, it's easy to make a loss, but... I hope you can take it. ”

“Oh?” Kelton was curious.

“Because I can almost describe you in my head, oh, that's fascinating.” Adrian exaggerated in a remarkable tone.

Just thinking about it, Kate understood what he was saying, and she glanced at him, but then she couldn't help but ask, "What is it? ”

“You know, Universal has produced a lot of horror films before, and they have a lot of classic monster images, like Frankenstein, and this time they want to put these monsters together in a movie and look for Stephen? Somos came as director and producer…" Adrian introduced.

Undoubtedly, the film is Van Helsing, the world monster of previous generations. According to the trajectory of previous generations, the film should have been on horseback long ago, but the world has grown fairly smoothly over the years, and the amazing series of superheroes has filled them with money. Although producers have this idea, they have not paid for it. But Somos, who took over, moved to the top of the globe, and made them think there was potential in it, so he put it on the agenda at this time.

Adrian knew what Van Helsing was like in his previous life, but he didn't intend to get involved too much, like the sequel to The Legend of Night and the sequel to The X-Men, after all, he couldn't keep his hands on what they were going to do. Besides, while Van Helsing's box office was average in previous life, the DVDs and videos were selling well, and North America's sales were almost equal to those of the box office over time. It should be clear that the quality of the film should not be too problematic, and that there should have been an error in the distribution of the publicity.

After AC Media acquired Globe, it did a good job in this regard. With the people Bosworth worked out, they dug up some good talent. Globe's distribution capacity can now vary from day to day. I believe it will be better than the original version, so Adrian's attention is more on the female lead.
